That's a shame. Could it be that, if you specify a version of
zope.testing in your setup.py that is equivalent to the version of
zope.testing in your Plone app, the overwriting happens but without
ill effects? I bet that would work.

I sure hope so. I intend it to be. :-)

Mm. :-(

Not at the moment. I have been following the ZC opinion--brought
about by pain, not theory, BTW--that test dependencies should be
included as primary dependencies.
However, your story seems like a reason to divide up the requirements,
especially if my first suggestion doesn't work for you. Maybe I'll do
that for the next release (1.5.0) which I hope/intend to make in the
next 7 days.
If that's not soon enough, you could make a local release for
yourself, as you mention below, that divides out or removes the
requirement.

Right. It's a shame and an annoyance, but not necessarily a show-
stopper.

I don't believe so. Though there are no automated tests to guarantee
that, of course. :-)

That is not the intent.
So, to repeat, I *want* it to work (easily!) in Zope 2/Plone. I think
your best solution is to see if you can pin the zope.testing egg to
the same version that your Zope 2/Plone app currently uses, and see if
it works. If that fails, let me know.
